Transform the PLA POLYMER into COMPOSTABLE coffee CAPSULES directly in your company

Integrated solutions for the production of COMPOSTABLE single-serve coffee CAPSULES: complete your line with cutting-edge encapsulation and packaging processes, fully compliant with current and future EU regulations, while keeping costs under control and promoting a future free from microplastics.
Your coffee, your production — our sustainable CAPSULE technology.

A complete in-house solution

From PLA polymer raw material to the compostable single-serve coffee capsule, packaged and ready for sale on the market.

We offer a complete turnkey solution for the internalization of the production process of compostable coffee capsules.

We manage the entire production cycle: from the supply of raw materials — our PLA polymer granules made from cassava starch and sugarcane starch — to the encapsulation process and the packaging of the finished product. This allows your company to have full control over the supply chain, with three strategic advantages:

Cost efficiency
Compliance with European regulations
A tangible contribution to environmental sustainability

An Italian company that cares about the health of the environment

DE PLANET ITALIA is an Italian company specialized in designing production processes for the manufacturing of single-serve compostable capsules for hot beverages, particularly coffee. Its mission is:

To promote the environmental and economic sustainability of coffee-producing companies.
To reduce the impact of microplastics on the environment at the same cost as plastic or aluminum capsules.

Extensive experience in the compostable products market

Founded after more than 15 years of experience in the compostable polymers market, De Planet Italia has gained in-depth knowledge of the industrial and commercial processes in the single-serve capsule sector. It has developed an innovative and sustainable production cycle for companies that wish to be competitive and comply with European green regulations.

A comprehensive and scalable industrial process

DE PLANET ITALIA has developed a complete and scalable industrial production process for the creation of compostable coffee capsules made from PLA (polylactic acid), a biodegradable polymer derived from renewable sources such as corn starch or sugarcane.

Thanks to this innovative technology, coffee-producing companies can integrate the entire production cycle directly within their facilities: from the transformation of PLA granules into capsules, to the coffee encapsulation process, and finally, the packaging of the finished product. This system combines sustainability, efficiency, and compliance with European regulations, while simultaneously reducing operational costs and environmental impact.

This guarantees the ability to export their products made with DE PLANET ITALIA compostable capsules to all countries worldwide.

PRODUCTION CAPACITY: 600 CAPSULES per minute

High performance for industrial-scale production. Our machine guarantees a consistent output of 600 capsules per minute. Designed for maximum reliability, it can operate continuously for 2 or 3 shifts per day, reaching a monthly production capacity of over 15 million capsules to meet the most demanding requirements.

Lightness and optimal capacity

DE PLANET ITALIA has engineered its Nespresso-compatible CAPSULE to offer the best weight-to-capacity ratio. Each DE PLANET capsule weighs 2.28/2.3 g and contains 6.2 g of ground coffee, combining material efficiency with an optimal dose of coffee for an uncompromising, creamy aroma.

Innovation, Research and Development

DE PLANET ITALIA is constantly committed to developing technological innovations resulting from its research and development activities, to guarantee and offer its customers new compostable POLYMERS certified HOME/OCEAN COMPOST and the implementation of new compatible compostable capsules in the machines on loan for use (A Modo Mio – Dolce & Gusto).
